A Daughter’s Wish: Reuniting Our Family

Hi, my name is Cherise. It’s been almost seven years since I last saw my elderly mum and dad, and the weight of that time apart grows heavier every day. Life has taken us in different directions, but nothing can replace being together — sharing a meal, a laugh, or simply sitting in the same room.

In that time, Mum and Dad have missed so many precious moments with their granddaughters. The girls have grown so much, and my parents have longed to hold them and watch them grow. That lost time truly breaks my heart.

Their health has declined over the years — Dad’s dementia has worsened, and Mum’s own health has suffered under the stress of caring for him. It’s heartbreaking to watch from afar.

For me, it’s been a constant emotional battle — the guilt of not being there, the sadness of what’s been lost, and the longing to reconnect. More than anything, I just want to see them again — to hug them, to help, and to spend whatever time we have left together.

I’m raising funds for flights and basic essentials to make this reunion possible. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean the absolute world to me and my family and bring us one step closer to being together again after all these years.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any kindness or support. ❤️

With love and gratitude,

Cherise
